A beautiful wooden staircase with a modern design leads to the first floor, where there is a central open-plan study with panoramic views. There are also two bedrooms and a bathroom. The master bedroom has air conditioning, which, when the door is open, also cools the central study.

The property measures 103 sqm and also includes two cellars on the ground floor, one measuring 22 square metres and the other 14 square metres; one of the two cellars is used as a painting studio and for DIY.

The house has been renovated 5 years ago, so all the plumbing, wiring, roof etc are new. Newly built-in kitchen with appliances is included in the price, together with most of the rest of the furniture; just a few items will be removed.
Gas central heating.

Parking is available on the village road a few metres from the entrance to the house. The village is very quiet but there is an excellent restaurant which also opens for lunch and breakfast during the season. There will also be a wine shop opening soon. The larger village of Chianni is just 1 km away, renowned for its lively community and fun events throughout the year. Chianni has all the amenities you need, including 5 excellent restaurants.

The little town of Chianni is charming and picturesque, with ancient stone houses clustered along quiet streets, and beautiful old piazzas around every corner. There are lovely shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, all within easy walking distance. There is a palpable sense of history and timelessness, and the town is immaculately kept with flower baskets on every corner. Chianni is only 40 minutes drive from Pisa airport, and the coastal cities of Castiglioncello and Cecina on the Tyrrhenian coast, and also the golf courses of Pisa and Castelfalfi, and the remains of Etruscan and historic towns, such as Volterra, are all within 30 minutes drive.

Surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, with chestnut woods and olive groves, Chianni is on a hill 350 metres above sea level and has splendid views over the valley below.

The town is located in the Valdera in Central Tuscany between Pisa and Florence, a colourful landscape of rolling hills dotted with medieval villages, castles and lanes flanked with tall dark green cypress trees that epitomises the Tuscan landscape. Meandering through the countryside of Valdera you feel the vestiges of the mysterious Etruscan civilization. Here Andrea Boccelli was born, and it is in the heart of Valdera in Lajatico that the famous Teatro del Silenzio (the Theatre of Silence), a natural amphitheatre, creates a breathtaking setting for special summer evening perfomances by some of the greatest names in opera.

Nearby, Casciana Terme (5km) has thermal waters and spa facilities and is a pretty town with piazzas and cafès serving the local wine. The città d’arte (cities of art) include Volterra, San Gimignano, Palaia and Florence, all within an easy drive for day trips or longer visits.
